ENTERPRISE, Ala.(WDNews) — The Enterprise Fire Department, in collaboration with the Coffee County Community Emergency Response Team (CC-CERT), is set to host a Community Safety and Preparedness Fair on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Central Fire Station located at 301 Plaza Drive.
“This annual event is a way to help our citizens understand the resources available in our community when it comes to safety and preparedness,” said CC-CERT Coordinator Scotty Johnson. “It’s also a fun way to get kids involved and learn about how to prepare and what to do in different situations.”
The fair promises a variety of engaging activities, including hands-on demonstrations designed for the whole family. “From an obstacle course to educational inflatables, activities and displays, our community partners are planning creative ways to showcase their equipment and teach valuable lessons to all ages,” Johnson added. He encouraged attendees to “invite your friends and neighbors to join you. This is a valuable resource for Enterprise. You can never be too prepared.”
The Enterprise Fire Department will also play a central role in the event, offering attendees a chance to see fire trucks up close, tour the fire station, and learn life-saving techniques. “This is an opportunity for the community to come out to Central Fire Station, meet our crew, and learn more about our Department,” said Battalion Chief Brian Beasley. He further noted that “we will also have free smoke alarms available for Enterprise residents who need them. Our goal is for every home within Enterprise city limits to have at least one working smoke detector.”
The Community Safety and Preparedness Fair promises to be an educational and enjoyable experience for all, highlighting the importance of safety and preparedness in the Enterprise community.
